Mansions in the Channel Islands

A mansion is a very large dwelling house. U.S. realtors define a mansion as a dwelling of over 8,000 square feet. A traditional European mansion was defined as a house which contained a ballroom and tens of bedrooms. Today, however, there is no formal definition beyond being a large and well-appointed house.
In the channel islands many large buildings have been built for wealthy individual over the history of the region.
